Baptists on SermonAudio

The sermon exhorts believers to reject pride and worldly friendship in favor of radical humility before God. Drawing primarily from James chapter four, the message identifies selfish passions as the root of conflict and emphasizes that God actively opposes the proud while extending grace to the humble. Bro. Warren urges the audience to submit to God, resist the devil, and recognize their dependence on divine will rather than assuming control over the future. By acknowledging human mortality and the perfection of God's law, the text highlights the necessity of relying on Christ's atonement for salvation. Ultimately, the call is to live with a 'Lord willing' mindset, allowing grace to transform hearts and actions.

We see that Jesus, when he comes to meet Zacchaeus, is not concerned with either his shortness or the fact that he was a tax gatherer. Instead let us think about how Jesus approaches Zacchaeus. So, what has happened? Zacchaeus can't see Jesus. He wants to see him. He's curious. He's seeking Jesus out. He's interested. He comes and he can't see Jesus, so he goes ahead of the crowd, goes farther up on the parade road, and climbs this tree. He wants to see Jesus, and he's curious. He's fascinated. And Jesus comes up and doesn't say, well, you're a short man, or, oh, you're a tax collector. He says, Zacchaeus. What does that mean? It means He knows exactly who He is. Jesus knows all these things about Him. He can see not only into His life, He can see into His heart. He can understand that Zacchaeus is something. while Zacchaeus brings him to his house. He obeys the command of the Lord.

Do NOT look for friendliness, support and encouragement, charismatic speakers, entertainment, or preaching that doesn't require you to change. Look FOR Biblical truth, the truth about Jesus Christ, the truth concerning the gospel, the truth of scriptural baptism, the truth about faithfulness, and the truth about separation from the world.
